Abstract
In wavelengthdivision multiplexing WDM optical networks multicast is implemented by constructing a lightforest which is a set of lighttrees with each lighttree rooted from the multicast source and terminated at a partition subset of the destination nodes Multicast routing scenario has considerable impact on the quality of optical signal received at each destination To guarantee the fairness of signal quality at different destinations in a multicast session it is desirable to construct a lossbalanced lightforest to deliver the multicast traffic A lossbalanced lightforest is composed of a set of lighttrees bounded in size number of destinations per multicast tree in size variation difference in the number of destinations among different multicast trees and in dimension maximum sourcetodestination distance on each multicast tree This paper investigates the multicast routing and wavelength assignment MCRWA problem under the lossbalance constraint The problem is formulated as an optimization model using integer linear programming ILP Numerical solutions to the optimization model can supply useful performance benchmarks for lossbalanceconstrained optical multicast in WDM networks
